Not bad, but it wont fit into the Guilded Age (maybe dark age, idk) theme of Guild Wars

It does not fit into guild wars theme whatsoever. Doesn't even come close. You might as well make a class that builds starships for other players to use to do 'bomb' attacks on opponents.

I kinda like it... If you made the ranged sentries shoot arrows or perhaps darts then it possibly could fit in with the theme of GW. Maybe give sentries an attack limit too so if they attack a certain number of times they break and you have to set up a new one. Other than that I think its good

Nah, I don't really care for this, I don't see why you'ld waste an attribute on something as impractical as a wrench, even if it was ridiculously oversized it would be identical to a hammer and off all the possibilities for summons you chose to make something almost identical to a rit spirit

Id have to agree with all the posts.. it doesn’t fit with the background...
HOW EVER!
If you changed the class to maybe, "Sculptor", instead of machines ect he Sculpts "constructs" from the Mud under his feet, rock from the walls or the water around him.. That would be interesting.
The only problem with this is we already have this class.. It’s kinda called a Ritualist =/ This CC just seems to be a cross between a Spawn Rt/W Hammer, sorry :S

Interesting concept, but it definitely wouldn't fit into the game. I don't like the idea of the engineers weapon being a wrench. How many possible weapons skins could they have for that? Not many. Also since the wrench is a melee weapon the Engineer would be a frontline character which causes a problem if he is going to be creating sentries as well.

Like I said interesting idea but I can't see it fitting into the game.

I suppose an "engineer" could kind of fit into GW. I mean, we've <I>fought</i> Stone Summit Engineers before. They're around.

I don't think it works all that well as a class though. The Ritualist already has Pain - essentially a sentry that shoots at foes. And there's a myriad of temporary armour bonus skills around. As far as gameplay goes: not that new.

Somehow this reminds me of Engineers from Wolfenstein.

Allow me to propose a new concept class based on your idea that would be more suitable. Golem Master
